About Me

Jen

My name is Jen. I am a nineteen year old living in Massachusetts, doing her best to make money using her art. When I'm not making chainmaille, sewing, drawing, acting, or singing, I love to listen to music, read fantasy and suspense novels, drink tea, and pet my cats.
This blog is primarily for promoting my chainmaille jewelry, although there will be plenty of other stuff to keep you entertained. If you're interested in buying something you see here, you can visit me on etsy (www.guineverelynn.etsy.com) or email me (guineverelynn@dudleyzoo.org).
Thanks for reading!

Today I'm going to talk about the weave I invented - that's right, I came up with this beauty on my own! Someone else may have done something similar, but I didn't follow any pattern.

As you can see from the title, I call this weave Diamondweave. It looks like jewels to me.

It started out as me experimenting. I was making some orbitals, using rubber rings. It looked a bit boring to me, not to mention the rings kept wiggling out of place. I hate unstable weaves. So I added the rings that are gold in this bracelet. It was still a bit unstable, so I added the orange rings.

It was a lot easier to come up with a weave than I thought it would be. I imagine the principal applies to most craft mediums - just experiment! Start with something simple, and just add to it. I'm very happy with the way the weave came out. And I love this picture - I have a thing for roses.

In bloggier news, I'll be cutting down a bit. New posts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
